Intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductor devices have always been a subject of discussion due to their band structures, and exceptional electrical properties. But do you know that recent technological advancements allow the light dopant addition of only one part in 100 million atoms? Let us understand the two main semiconductors in detail and list their differences.

Australian researchers have demonstrated the potential for a new type of flexible electrode that could be used to create cheaper optoelectronics including solar cells and touchscreens. They even claim that, in theory, it could be used to create flexible “e-skins”.

The consortium will accelerate domestic commercialisation of perovskite technologies by providing access to comprehensive research capabilities that establish a solid technical foundation.

In a bid to address so-called “range anxiety” and improve the viability of electric vehicles, two companies – GreenCore and Loop Energy – have announced a partnership that will focus on the design and development of hydrogen-powered fast-charging stations.

Arrow Electronics, Panasonic Industry, and STMicroelectronics (ST) have banded together to introduce a low-power wireless multi-sensor edge-intelligent solution for the Internet of Things (IoT) and other smart applications.

The Hall sensors sketched here are immune to electromagnetic interference fields. Depending on the measuring mode, they determine linear positions and rotary movements via the X/Y component of the magnetic field detected.

This part of the article series focuses on RF transceivers. Here, we check the sensitivity of the device to the noise coming from each power rail to identify which ones need additional noise filtering. An optimized power solution is provided, which is further validated by comparing its SFDR and phase noise performance to the current PDN when attached to the RF transceiver.

The associations VDE and ZVEI are working hard to ensure that Germany and Europe increase their capacities for the production of microelectronics chips, as they stated at the Microelectronics for Future 2022 Summit in Berlin. The EU Chips Act, which the EU Commission presented at the end of 2021, plays a special role here.

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has launched "TLP3475W," a photorelay in a small, thin WSON4 package. It reduces insertion loss and suppresses power attenuation in high-frequency signals and is suitable for the pin electronics of semiconductor testers, which use a large number of relays and require high-speed signaling.

Nissan recently announced that it has licensed its advanced lithium-ion battery technology to APB Corporation, a Tokyo-based start-up that is currently developing an all-polymer battery.
